    He starts to comprehend his harsh behaviours and asks the spirit to 'conduct [him] where you will. I went forth last night on compulsion, and I learnt a lesson…let me profit by it.' The spirit, through Dickens, transports Scrooge to view an affectionate scene during Christmas with the Cratchits, where Tiny Tim's feeble self is seated next to his father. Scrooge feels miserable for the family even though they are 'happy [and] grateful' because it was Christmas time and are always 'pleased with one another and contented with the time'. Dickens, through the Spirit of Christmas Present, has also used caricatures to juxtapose with Scrooge's characterization by revealing that even though on the 'dismal reef of sunken rocks' and in isolation, the lonely men at the lighthouse still 'wished each other Merry Christmas…and struck up a sturdy song', which shows Scrooge that no matter where people are, Christmas is a time for…

    A Heavenly Christmas (originally titled Christmas Angel in Training) was an idea I got while walking my dog one day. I found myself wondering about what kind of Christmas Angel someone who didn’t celebrate Christmas would be. The notion intrigued me (and made me laugh) and so the story quickly developed from there. Being a big fan of the Hallmark Channel (and a Hallmark card addict since birth), I’d always longed to work with them. I was fortunate enough to get a meeting there and, after mentioning the idea, received tremendous encouragement and enthusiasm.…

    So Phoenix got together with Bill Murray and friends to make a Christmas song - in other words, you’ve already been out-cooled today by this weird and wonderful idea of a indie musical marriage, with Sofia Coppola and Wes Anderson as the in laws. Unfortunately, “Alone on Christmas Day” falls frustratingly in between a litany of interesting directions that could have been taken - Murray’s amiable intro to the song, along with his injections of “Gotta move on,” into the song’s chorus, deserve more time. Phoenix get into a bit of a groove on this track, but it’s tempered by the sleigh bells and Murray’s vocals - what comes out is a song pulled in two different directions, between warm Christmas family jam ready for the mantle, and Phoenician ballad.…
